Art is everywhere at Scouters Mountain Elementary! Students, teachers, and
parents are hard at work in preparation for our big Art Festival coming up on
Thursday April 5th, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. This event celebrates the work our

Your child or teen can have health coverage.
We know an education is the best gift we can give our children. We also know that
healthy kids learn better and healthy kids start with health coverage that their families
can afford.
Healthy Kids is Oregon’s expanded no-cost and low-cost health coverage program for
uninsured kids and teens up to 19 years of age. Healthy Kids is comprehensive coverage
offering medical, dental, vision, prescription, and behavioral health coverage.
No family makes too much money for Healthy Kids. Parent’s income will determine whether
a child is eligible for the no-cost or low-cost coverage option. For example, a family of
four that earns as much as $69,383 a year may qualify for low-cost coverage. Your child
or student can be a Healthy Kid!
Make the call or apply online today for Oregon Healthy Kids!

Su niño o adolescente pueden tener cobertura de salud
Sabemos que la educación es el mejor obsequio que les podemos dar a nuestros hijos. También
sabemos que los niños sanos tienen un mejor aprovechamiento académico, y para que los niños
estén sanos necesitan una cobertura de salud que esté al alcance del bolsillo de las familias.
Healthy Kids es un nuevo programa en Oregón, que ofrece cobertura sin costo, de bajo costo y de
costo completo para niños y adolescentes de hasta 19 años de edad. Healthy Kids cubre todas las
necesidades médicas, servicios dentales, de la vista, recetas y de la salud mental o conductual.
Para Healthy Kids no hay familia que gane demasiado dinero. El ingreso familiar es lo que define la
opción a la que su niño o adolescente tiene derecho: sin costo, de bajo costo o de costo completo.
Por ejemplo, una familia de cuatro personas que tenga un ingreso de hasta $69,383 al año puede
cumplir con los requisitos de la opción de bajo costo.

Can Backpacks Cause Problems?
Your spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae, and between the vertebrae are disks that act as natural shock
absorbers. When you incorrectly place a heavy weight on your shoulders, such as a backpack filled with books, the
weight's force can pull you backward. To compensate, you may bend forward at the hips or arch your back, and this
can cause your spine to compress unnaturally.
If you have to struggle to get your backpack on or off, if you have to lean forward to carry your pack, or if you
have back pain, then the way you are using your backpack (either its overall weight or the method you use to carry
it) may need to be adjusted. If you continue to have back pain or have numbness or weakness in your arms or legs,
talk to your doctor.
Also, carrying a heavy pack changes the way a person walks and increases the risk of falling, particularly on stairs
or other places where the backpack puts the wearer off balance.
Tips for Using Backpacks
Here are a few tips that will help make your backpack work for you, not against you:
" •"
Limit your backpack load. Doctors and physical therapists recommend that people carry no more than 10%
to 15% of their body weight in their packs. This means that if you weigh 120 pounds, your backpack should
weigh no more than 12 to 18 pounds. Use your bathroom scale to weigh your backpack and get an idea of
what the proper weight for you feels like.
" •"
Pick it up properly. As with any heavy weight, you should bend at the knees when lifting a backpack to your
shoulders.
" •"
Strengthen your core. A great way to prevent back injury is to strengthen the stabilizing muscles of your
torso, including your lower back and abdominal muscles. Weight training, Pilates, and yoga are all activities
that can be effective in strengthening these core muscles.
So what's the best way to carry a backpack? Learn from the hiking pros and wear both straps over your shoulders.
Keep your load light enough so that you can easily walk or stand upright, and pack your backpack with the heaviest
items closest to your back.

Scouters Yearbook
Dear Parent,
We want to make you aware of a change to the Scouters Mountain Yearbook. Due to a
publishing mixup, the yearbook will now be softcover (similar to last year) instead of hardback.
While we can’t change the cover, we can now make the yearbook more affordable to you. We are
reducing the price of the yearbook to $15. If you haven’t been able to order your yearbook yet,
here is your chance!!
Scouters Mountain Elementary is still taking orders for the 2011-12 edition of the yearbook,
now at a reduced price. Ensure your child has the opportunity to relive his or her school days for
years to come by purchasing a yearbook for only $15.00.
It’s all about memories…memories of special friends, special teachers and special days. Help
your child remember those fun-filled times forever. Your yearbook captures the events and
people that make school special.
To order your child’s yearbook, return the attached order slip with the information requested,
along with a check made payable to Scouters Mountain PTA for $15.00 per book. Please return
your order slip to your child’s teacher, or order online at www.balfour.com. (There is a $1
processing fee for online orders.)
These times will soon be gone...buy a yearbook and help your child remember school forever!
Thanks for your support!

Dear Parents/Guardians:
You might have heard about the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Math that have been
adopted as the new standards for Oregon. These new standards are challenging and relevant for all of our students
who must prepare for success in college, in work and in the communities of the 21st century. This school year, North
Clackamas School District staff members have been working hard to begin to align our practices to these standards,
and their successful implementation will define much of our work for the next several years.
Please take a moment to read this information about the standards from the Oregon Department of Education. As
you have questions, ideas and concerns about the standards, please contact your student's principal and/or teacher
for more information. These standards are new, and we will all learn together!
___________________________________________________________________________________
Queridos Padres/Guardianes:
Tal vez haya escuchado acerca de los Estándares de Materias Principales Comunes para Arte del Lenguaje y
Matemáticas que se han adoptado como los estándares nuevos de Oregon. Estos estándares nuevos son de reto y
relevantes para todos los estudiantes que deben prepararse para el éxito en el colegio, en el trabajo y en las
comunidades del siglo 21. Este año escolar, los empleados del Distrito Escolar North Clackamas han estado trabajando
arduamente para comenzar alineando nuestras prácticas a estos estándares y la implementación con éxito definirá la
mayor parte de nuestro trabajo en los siguientes años.
Por favor tome un momento para leer esta información acerca de los estándares del departamento de Educación de
Oregon. Si tiene preguntas, ideas y preocupaciones acerca de estos estándares, por favor contacte al director de su
estudiante y/o maestro para mayor información. ¡Estos estándares son nuevos y todos aprenderemos juntos!
___________________________________________________________________________________
Уважаемые родители или опекуны,
Возможно, Вы слышали о Единых государственных академических стандартax по английскому языку /
словесности и математике (Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Math), которые были
приняты в качестве новых академических требований в школах штатa Орегон. Новые стандарты
актуальны и требуют большего от всех наших учащихся, которые должны подготовить себя к успеху в
колледже, на работе и в обществе 21-го века. В этом учебном году сотрудники школьного округa North
Clackamas упорно работали, чтобы привести свои учебные методики в соответствие к этим
требованиям. Успешная реализация новых стандартов во многом определит нашу работу в течение
ближайших нескольких лет.
Пожалуйста, найдите время, чтобы прочитать информацию о академических стандартах Министерства
образования штата Орегон (ODE). Если у Вас возникнут вопросы, предложения или тревога по поводу
новых стандартов, пожалуйста, обращайтесь к директору школы Вашего ребенка и / или классному
руководителю. Академические стандарты являются новыми и для нас, поэтому будем учиться вместе!

Kính thưa Quý vị Phụ Huynh/Người Giám Hộ:
Có lẽ quý vị có nghe qua về Cốt Lõi Tiêu Chuẩn Chung Của Tiểu Bang (Common Core State Standards) về môn Văn
Học Nghệ Thuật và Toán đã được phỏng theo và áp dụng là tiêu chuẩn mới ở Oregon. Những tiêu chuẩn mới này
khó khăn và cần thiết cho tất cả những con em học sinh đang phải chuần bị để thành công trên đại học, khi tìm
việc làm và trong cộng đồng của thế kỷ 21. Trong niên khóa này, nhân viên của Khu Học Chánh North Clackamas đã
nỗ lực làm việc để đưa những dự án của chúng tôi song hành với các tiêu chuẩn này, và sự ứng dụng thành công
của học sinh sẽ vạch rõ của công việc của chúng ta trong vài năm tới.
Xin quý vị vui lòng đọc tin tức này về những tiêu chuẩn của Nha Giáo Dục Oregon. Khi quý vị có câu hỏi, ý kiến và
quan tâm về các tiêu chuẩn này, xin liên lạc với hiệu trưởng và/hoặc là giáo viên của con em để biết thêm chi
tiết. Những tiêu chuẩn này đều mới và chúng ta sẽ cùng học hỏi!
A Message for Parents
Theme: Awareness & Understanding September 2011
What do the Common Core State Standards mean for my student?
Something exciting is happening in education in Oregon, something that all parents will want to know
about - the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). These newly adopted standards in English Language
Arts and Math are important for your student’s future success!
Here’s why:
The standards are the same wherever you go. Common standards mean that students in Oregon are
learning the same thing as students across the country. Students moving into or out of Oregon will have
a smoother educational transition because learning goals will now be the same across states.
They’re modeled on success. The Common Core State Standards are aligned to international standards
from the highest achieving countries. This means our students will be well prepared to compete both
nationally and internationally.
College and career ready is the name of the game. All students graduating college and career-ready
is the goal of the CCSS. These standards are designed to prepare students for success in whatever they
choose to do after graduation.
Real life is really important. What students learn in school should be directly related to what they’ll be
required to do once they leave. The Common Core places a strong emphasis on reading informational and
technical texts to prepare students for the demands of college and the workplace.
College should not begin with remediation. Too many students entering Oregon universities and
community colleges require remedial classes in English and Math. The CCSS are designed to make that a
problem of the past by fully preparing students for college-level coursework.
Increased access to learning resources. Common standards mean that learning resources and teaching
and learning materials can be shared across states.
21st century skills for 21st century jobs. These standards will prepare our students for career success
in the rapidly changing world of work.

Cada estudiante, cada día - un éxito! Noviembre 2011
Un Mensaje a los Padres de Familia Tema: Conocimiento y entendimiento
¿Qué significan las normas fundamentales comunes del Estado para mi estudiante?
Algo emocionante que está sucediendo en la educación en Oregon, algo que todos los padres de
familia quieren saber - las normas comunes y fundamentales del Estado (CCSS). !Estas
normas recientemente adoptadas en Inglés y Matemáticas son importantes para el éxito futuro de
su estudiante!
Aquí explicamos por qué:
Las normas son las mismas donde quiera que vaya. Normas comunes significa que los
estudiantes de Oregon están aprendiendo lo mismo que los estudiantes de todo el país.
Estudiantes que se desplazan dentro o fuera de Oregon tendrá una transición educativa sin
tropiezos, porque los objetivos de aprendizaje ahora serán los mismos en todos los estados.
Son el modelo para adquirir éxito. Las normas fundamentales comunes del Estado están
alineados a los estándares internacionales de los países que han logrado alto nivel académico.
Esto significa que nuestros estudiantes estarán bien preparados para competir tanto a nivel
nacional e internacional.
Estar preparados para la universidad y para una carrera. El objetivo de CCSS es que todos los
estudiantes al graduarse estén preparados para ingresar a la universidad y listos para empezar
una carrera. Estos estándares están diseñados para preparar a los estudiantes a que tengan éxito
en lo ellos decidan hacer después de graduarse.
La vida real es muy importante. Lo que los estudiantes aprenden en la escuela debe estar
directamente relacionado con lo harán una vez que salen. El Núcleo Básico pone un fuerte énfasis
en la lectura de textos informativos y técnicos para preparar a los estudiantes para las demandas
de la universidad y del trabajo.
Los estudios universitarios no deben comenzar con remediación. Muchos estudiantes que
han ingresado en las universidades de Oregon y a los colegios comunitarios han requerido clases
de apoyo en Inglés y Matemáticas. Los estándares de CCSS están diseñados para hacer que ese
problema se quede en el pasado y que ahora los estudiantes reciban la preparación que se
requiere para los cursos de nivel universitario.
Un mayor acceso a recursos de aprendizaje. Normas comunes significa que los recursos de
aprendizaje y materiales de enseñanza y el aprendizaje pueden ser compartidos entre los estados.
Las habilidades del siglo 21 para puestos de trabajo. Estas normas prepararan a nuestros
estudiantes para que tengan éxito profesional en el mundo del trabajo que cambia
constantemente.
